Genshin Impact Amber Best Build Guide – Weapons and Artifacts

Here is our Best Build Guide for Outrider Amber, the Pyro Bow user in Genshin Impact. She is the first free character that you can unlock!

Amber is a 4-Star Bow user in Genshin Impact. Unfortunately for Amber, she has a reputation for being a particularly weak playable character in Genshin Impact. In saying that, you get the bow-wielding pyro character early on in the game, which means she may keep you going until you get a more powerful character from a wish if you have the appropriate build. You can also check out our Best Build guide for the other free characters — Kaeya and Lisa.

Amber’s Charged Attack is ideal for aiming and shooting at enemy heads and other weak locations in the early game. This is useful against opponents like the Ruin Guard, Ruin Grader, and Ruin Hunters, as it stuns them for a few seconds when you hit their weak places. CRIT DMG is dealt when you hit an enemy’s weak point. This means you can hit enemies from afar and deal a lot of damage before they close in. Here is our Amber Best Build Guide.

This was our Amber Best Build Guide. She is a decent pyro character if built correctly. But she is often overshadowed by the other characters. She is a great pick up at the start of the game and you can pair her with characters like Fischl (for overload reactions), Tartaglia (for Vaporize reactions) and Klee or Diluc or other Pyro characters (for Elemental Resonance).
